In itself, there is no advantage. However, if you put the game settings
into a ruleset, push this ruleset to the clients, and allow them to
request changes to it, as I have described it, this will allow full,
upwards-compatible client control over the server settings through a
registry dialog.

In the client? I think we can safely assume that the server will either be
operator-less or the operator will use a client.
